  • Publication number: 20070231895
    Abstract: Methods of adapting cells, e.g., mammalian cells, to a cell culture process are provided. When the adapted cells are genetically modified and used for protein production, they exhibit beneficial characteristics, such as being able to attain higher cell densities and/or achieve a higher overall yield of the produced protein.

  • Publication number: 20060010513
    Abstract: The present invention provides an oligonucleotide array capable of identifying genes and related pathways involved with the induction of a particular phenotype by a cell line, e.g., the genes and related pathways involved with the induction of transgene expression by the cell line. The invention is particularly useful when there is little or no information about the genome of the cell line being studied, because it provides methods for identifying consensus sequences for known and previously undiscovered genes, and for designing oligonucleotide probes to the identified consensus sequences. Additionally, when the array is to be used to determine optimal conditions for expression of a transgene by the cell line, the invention teaches methods of including oligonucleotide probes to transgene sequences in the array. The invention also provides methods of using the array to identify genes and related pathways involved with the induction of a particular cell line phenotype.
